The latest episode of the Kingdom Reformation Podcast by Glenn Bleakney explores the critical theme of the church's purification and restoration amid a profound spiritual season. Blakeney boldly asserts that what many perceive as chaos and destruction is actually a divine orchestration aimed at preparing the church for an unprecedented outpouring of revival and kingdom advancement.

This purification process, driven by God's deep love for His people, serves to align the church with His purposes and prepare it to carry His glory.
Drawing from the prophetic word of David Minor, Bleakney likens the present movement of the Holy Spirit to a wind that is sweeping through the church, bringing both cleansing and renewal. He stresses the importance of turning toward this wind, which represents holiness unto the Lord, to fully participate in the transformative work God is doing.

The episode emphasizes the urgent need for the church to pursue righteousness, humility, and a deeper relationship with God in order to be effective vessels for His kingdom.

Prophetic word given to the Church by David Minor midnight 6th April, 1987
The Spirit of God would say to you that the wind of the Holy Spirit is blowing through the land. The Church, however, is incapable of fully recognising this wind. Just as your nation has given names to it’s hurricanes, so I have put My name on this wind. This wind shall be named
“Holiness unto the Lord”.
Because of a lack of understanding, some of My people will try to find shelter from the wind, but in so doing, they shall miss My work. For this wind has been sent to blow through every institution that has been raised in My Name. In those institutions that have substituted their name for Mine, they shall fall by the impact of My wind. Those institutions shall fall like cardboard shacks in a gale. Ministries that have not walked in uprighteousness before Me shall be broken and fall.
This is My Wind.
For this reason, man will be tempted to brand this as a work of satan, but do not be misled. This is My Wind. I cannot tolerate My Church in its present form, nor will I tolerate it. Ministries and organizations will shake and fall in the face of this wind and even some will seek to hide from that wind. They shall not escape. It shall blow against your lives and all around you will appear crumbling and so it shall.
But never forget, this is MY WIND, says the Lord. With tornado force it will come and appear to leave devastation, but the word of the Lord comes and says, “Turn your face into the wind and let it blow, for only that which is not of Me shall be devastated.” You must see this as necessary.
A second wind.
Be not dismayed, for after this, My wind shall blow again. Have you not read how My breath blew on the valley of dry bones? So it shall breathe on you. This wind will come in equal force as the first wind. This wind too will have a name. It shall be called
“The Kingdom of God”.
It shall bring government and order. Along with that, it shall bring My power. The supernatural shall come in that wind. The world will laugh at you because of the devastation of the first wind, but they will laugh no more. For this wind will come with force and power that will produce the miraculous among My people and the fear of God shall fall on the nation. My people will be willing in the day of My power says the Lord. In the first wind that is upon you now, I shall blow out pride, lust, greed, competition and jealousy and you will feel devastated, but haven’t you read “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven?” So out of your poverty of spirit, I will establish My kingdom. Have you not read the kingdom of God is in the Holy Ghost? So by My Spirit, My kingdom will be established and made manifest.
Know this also, there will be those who will seek to hide from this present wind and they will try to flow in the second wind. But again they will be blown away by it. Only those who have turned their faces into the present wind shall be allowed to be propelled by the second wind.
You have longed for revival and a return of the miraculous and the supernatural. You and your generation shall see it, but it shall only come by My process says the Lord. The Church of this nation cannot contain My power in its present form. But as it turns to the wind of Holiness unto the Lord, it shall be purged and changed to contain my Glory. This is the judgement that has begun to the house of God, but it is not the end. When the second wind has come and brought in My harvest, then the end shall come.
